transformative response to an oppressive social order

"People know me as the author of The Story of Art who have never heard of me as a scholar. But many of my colleagues have
never read the book. They may have read my papers on Poussin or Leonardo, but not that. It is a curious double life." Sir
Ernst Gombrich is one of the very few men able to lead such a double life, as familiar to the general public as to academicians.
Recently the French intellectual Didier Eribon engaged in a series of probing conversations with Gombrich, seeking to discover
how his mind and attitudes had been formed during his early years in Vienna and how they developed after he emigrated to England
in 1939. There, Gombrich wrote The Story of Art, his acclaimed introductory art survey, and became director of the Warburg
Institute in London. The result of the dialogue between these two men is found in this fascinating and thought-provoking volume.
Gombrich tells of reading, examining, pondering and talking to numerous historians, psychologists, artists, and philosophers
- among them Erwin Panofsky, Karl Popper, Oskar Kokoschka, and Konrad Lorenz - about subjects ranging from art history to
biology and zoology. The reader observes one of our century's most acute minds as he informally brings together all the themes
that have preoccupied him for over sixty years - the "meaning" of paintings especially those of the Renaissance; the relation
between representational art and perception; and the way in which our responses are conditioned by conventions, history, social
pressures, and changes of taste. As undogmatic, skeptical, and wide-ranging as ever, Gombrich not only provides a brilliant
account of his life's work but also makes us think anew about fundamental issues, provoking as many questions as he answers

Leading philosophers, sociologists and historians discuss the energy and fierce intellect of the well-known 20th century philosopher,
Michel Foucault, and they introduce us to some of the key elements of his work, while also acknowledging-- and even celebrating--
its many contradictions. Focuses on Foucault's critique of psychiatry, his work on the history of sexuality, the growth of
his radicalism arising from his research into the French penal system, the nature of knowledge and underlying structures of
human behavior, and his immersion in American counter-cultural movements, in particular the resistance to current social structures
that he found among sexual minority communities in San Francisco. Includes archival footage
